President Donald Trump took to Twitter again on Thursday to say he agrees with the White House’s “historically cooperative” approach to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

“I have agreed with the historically cooperative, disciplined approach that we have engaged in with Robert Mueller (Unlike the Clintons!). I have full confidence in Ty Cobb, my Special Counsel, and have been fully advised throughout each phase of this process,” Trump said in a tweet Thursday afternoon.

While the White House has said Trump believes he has the power to fire Mueller, the President has also denied reports that he wants to fire him.

“If I wanted to fire Robert Mueller in December, as reported by the Failing New York Times, I would have fired him,” Trump said in a tweet early Thursday morning, refuting a new New York Times report that in December, the President sought to shut down Mueller’s investigation.
